To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) for what reason he did not reply in writing to question 212556 on prosecutions for offences involving agricultural vehicles tabled by the hon. Member for Thurrock on 17 June 2008; and if he will make a statement; (245214)

According to my Department’s records, question No. 212556 was withdrawn on 25 June 2008. I apologise if there has been any confusion.

Inadequate lighting on agricultural vehicles does not constitute a separate offence by legislation and therefore the data are not available in the format requested.
